The responses to my articles just keeping coming in and I'm going to keep answering. However, I'm NOT going to spell check for you, so it's going up as you wrote it, people, and here we go:

Written By Burnikz: Your site name is just right for Cotto. Bragging rights coz he's bragging he lost only once and many 3x. Dont compare you braggard. Manny was beaten becoz of the judges. Cotto, He quitted be cause hes beaten to death. Dont blame the powder. Its weightless for gods sake.

  • My Response: I’ll admit that Miguel Cotto took a beating at the hands of Antonio Margarito. But I will not admit that Manny was beaten because of the judges. Manny has three loses on his record; one was a unanimous decision loss to Erik Morales and I will admit it was a close fight. However, his other two losses were both by third round knockout. Now if you can tell me how those two losses can be blamed on judges I would love to hear it. I have no idea what you are referring to when you say, "Don’t blame the powder. It’s weightless for gods sake."

Written By Arby: Here we are again. That's what you said when Manny .fought dela hoya and hatton. I expect the same sales point when Manny fights the drug users Mayweathers. shoulder roll, stronger and all those good adjective for boxers..good work. Keep on aelling and rest assured that Cotto is not on the same level as Manny. Manny by an overwhelming KO win.

  • My Response: It was really hard for me to say anything about when Manny fought Oscar and Ricky, since I only started writing for this website in the past two months. Why do you call the Mayweathers drug users? What proof do you have of that? I would like to know. There has been plenty of talk about Manny Pacquiao using steroids and I don’t buy into that trash talk for a second. So why feel the need to call the Mayweathers drug users?

Written By John: hey mr. montgomery please share to me your email address, i have something for you...

  • My Response: Easy now, John. You sound like you are taking my writing way too personal. I have no idea what exactly it is you have for me and I really don’t want to find out.

Written By Jasmin: Tony keep up the good work I am a filipina married to a Puerto Rican and can tell you that this is a fight of the culture classic. If Pac-man wins than he will always be the peoples champion if he loses he will still be the people's champ. However my husband agree with you naturally since he is for Cotto as a native citizen of PR. I think it will be a toss-up...

  • My Response: Now this is something I can get behind. I’m sure the upcoming bout has started more then a few arguments in your house. I agree win or lose Manny Pacquiao will still be a champion to the people. This is a great match up between two great cultures that strongly support the sport. My biggest hope for this weekend is a great fight. Nothing is better then the fans also winning.

Written By Rhey: as soon as he said pacman nor cotto aren't getting past mayweather, i knew that this guy doesnt really follow boxing like he makes us think he does. he's got very little knowledge about boxing. to say that pacquiao and cotto wont have a chance of beating floyd is plain stupid and ignorant. he's just another guy that hating on pacquiao fans.

  • My Response: Because I believe that Floyd Mayweather can and will beat both Manny and Miguel I know nothing about boxing? This is boxing I know every fighter is a punch away from victory. With that said Manny and Miguel both have a punchers chance against Floyd but if they are ever to fight believe me when I say Floyd Mayweather out boxes them. I’m willing to bet the bank on that.

Written By RW: Tony- You forgot to mention that Pacquiao's last three outings namely: Diaz, DLH & Hatton has 1 thing in common. All three could not find Pacquiao in the ring all night.
Analogy: You can't hurt what you can't touch. On the tough chin storyline of Cotto. Well Pacquiao is no Malignaggi with feather duster hands. Pacquiao may not deliver the one KO punch we saw with Hatton but enough of those hard punches landed would be more than enough to KO Cotto in the later rounds.
Next time you write something, do yourself a favor Tony and learn what 360 journalism is all about. Did you not learn why most good articles are called "NEWS"? North, East, West & South. That is 360 writing. Learning now?

  • My Response: RW I respect your response. You can see that against Cotto Manny Pacquiao will not land the one big punch as he did against Ricky Hatton. I will say this, if Miguel Cotto is to lose this fight it will not be by one punch, it will be much like the fight against Antonio Margarito. Manny will have to batter Miguel into submission. I still believe Miguel Cotto will win this bout not because I am a Pacman hater. I see Cotto winning because of his naturally bigger size and power. If I’m wrong I’ll be the first to admit it.
